Finally got my feet wet.
AND my pants. Again.
I was pulling parts out the back, and pushed a rockarm forward, and I got baptized all over again. I'm going to be the Holiest Farmall owner east of the Missip! Fair warning to anyone yet to 'jump'.. there's plenty of hytran still lurking in those bores.
On the other hand, everything came out easy without needing any special tools, so I can't complain.
Sam or Greg, this leads to some questions...
You guys take those big nuts off the rear of those pistons while they're still in their bores? I don't want to damage the bores, (those suckers are on TIGHT), but it seems like it would be easiest while everything is still held still.
After that, does it matter if the pistons come out the front or back? I know the control valves have to come out the front.
The boots held on by anything, like do they fit over a lip, or spring-held, or such?
Last, I suppose I'd figure it out if I had to, but my front end is a crudded mess, and despite the IT Manual, it isn't real "self-evident" to me how it comes apart. Either of you pros willing to give me a good word?
On the downside, my oil strainer mesh has a 2-inch circumferential tear.
I wonder if there's any new strainer, or boots, to be had anywhere.
In the meantime, I'm hitting the road to go find me something to get that Pressure Regulator Valve Seat out, and some pads for my grinder to get that gasket-from-HELL off.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
